My application is currently developped using wxIFM 1.0.5 and I like it's tabs system and arrows for the frame positioning. I have tried to use AUI and it work perfectly in my app (5 minutes of code and work fine!).

But,
do you plan to add a system such as IFM (tab and arrows) (or like Visual C++ 2005) ?

Some placement can't be dones without arrows... And tabs is a comfort.

I do use 2005. I hate they way that you have to drag directly over them to place a window. I prefer the docking hints as currently implemented in AUI where you can drag in that general area. It's not exactly complicated is it? If I want to dock on the bottom I drag to the bottom. I don't need a hint for that. I also find them a visual disturbance to an otherwise simple operation. They've never done anything for me other than piss me off for appearing.

Sorry, I've got years of pent up anger and aggression due to Visual Studio. Nothing personal
